    Sparking water was 9.5 euros. This seems a bit absurd. Curious if this is normal for the area. I’m a tourist so maybe there is a sparkling water shortage in the area that would drive up prices. Maybe someone else knows?

    (Translated by Google) The best view in Cologne, nice staff and delicious drinks, slightly higher prices, probably because of the 1A view! (Original) Der Beste Ausblick in Köln, nettes Personal und leckere Drinks, etwas höhere Preise, vermutlich wegen der 1A Aussicht!

    Maybe the best bar in the city. On top level of Pullman hotel. Best view in town (cologne cathedral). Super drinks at moderate charges. Crew is very good. Location is very loungy. Music is excellent.

    Fantastic view, cocktails and service. Nice ambient. Upper price class, but it's worth it.

    Beautiful view! A pricey place to go for a drink but you really are paying for the view over the city. I asked for a dirty gin martini and it was disappointing, but since it wasn't even on their menu, their other cocktails might be better. They offered up a generous amount of pretzels and the service was friendly and efficient.

    Service needs a little more sensitivity. Talking to a customer in a somewhat bad tempered manner, does not make the view during the stay pleasant. It was not very conscientious. The way you look at customers is important.

    Really good quality drinks! The view is fantastic and the atmosphere is good. I came here from the UK with my wife. The only downside is that the hotel is a little bit out of the way, but otherwise its great.

    (Translated by Google) "Once you have tasted the mustard, you do not want to eat any more" - with this promise I was lured there. And ... it is true ? delicious mustard in different variations: with garlic, wild garlic, .... I can highly recommend (Original) "Wenn man den Senf einmal probiert hat, dann will man keinen anderen mehr essen" - mit diesem Versprechen wurde ich dort hin gelockt.

    (Translated by Google) We celebrated my sister's birthday here on May 24th. It is a really nice atmosphere with a view of the cathedral, I can only recommend. The staff comes with friendliness, charm and humor on top. I rarely had such a good mood in a bar. Our waitress was super friendly and made our evening perfect. There was also a fancy birthday cocktail. When entering the bar we were greeted very friendly by the DJ. The music the DJ played was very good. All this made our evening unforgettable. A big compliment to the whole team. Keep it up and thanks for the great evening. (Original) Wir haben am 24. Mai hier den Geburtstag meiner Schwester gefeiert. Es ist ein wirklich sehr schönes Ambiente mit Blick auf den Dom, kann ich nur empfehlen. Das Personal kommt mit Freundlichkeit, Charme und Witz noch on Top. Ich hatte selten so eine gute Stimmung in einer Bar. Unsere Kellnerin war super freundlich und machte unseren Abend perfekt. Es gab auch einen ausgefallenen Geburtstags Cocktail. Beim betreten der Bar wurden wir schon sehr freundlich vom DJ begrüßt. Die Musik die der DJ auflegte war sehr gut. All das machte unseren Abend unvergesslich. Ein Großes Lob an das gesamte Team. Weiter so und danke für den tollen Abend.

    (Translated by Google) Great bar with great service. The view is great. The service is very attentive. Questions / wishes will be discussed. However, you should be aware that this is a more upscale location. The prices for cocktails are adjusted accordingly. (15-17 € are not uncommon) If you travel by public transport / KVB, then a small walk to the hotel is required. (Original) Tolle Bar mit großartigem Service. Die Aussicht ist toll. Die Bedienung ist sehr aufmerksam. Auf Fragen/Wünsche wird eingegangen. Man sollte sich allerdings bewusst sein, dass es sich hierbei um eine gehobenere Location handelt. Die Preise für Cocktails sind also entsprechend angepasst.(15-17€ sind keine Seltenheit) Reist man per ÖPNV/KVB an, so ist ein kleiner Fußweg bis zum Hotel erforderlich.

    Enjoy a stunning panorama of Cologne’s cathedral, old town and skyline at this great bar. Just hop on the glass elevator in the lobby and head to the 12th floor. The view is gorgeous from any angle.

    I was looking forward to having a cocktail here, but discovered that it closes in the summer. The staff in the hotel bar in the lobby cannot make cocktails, I ended up paying €11 for a very weak Gin and Tonic. Very poor service.

Otherwise, individual orders are possible which are implemented very skillfully. (Original) Tolle Bar, spitzen Cocktails.

    (Translated by Google) Excellent cocktails in Lab 12! The Lab 12 is a rooftop bar on the 12th floor of the Pullman Hotel with great views of Cologne and the cathedral. The service is great, the barteam always friendly, you can talk great here, the music is usually quite suitable (lounge music, but sometimes also hip hop and funk, etc.) and sometimes there is live music from a DJ , The atmosphere is unique for me in Cologne, you have to see it yourself! The most important thing is, the cocktails here are just great! My absolute favorite bar in all of Cologne, I have been here many times and will always come back. (Original) Hervorragende Cocktails im Lab 12! Das Lab 12 ist eine Rooftop Bar im 12 Stock des Pullman Hotels mit klasse Blick auf Köln und den Dom.

Das Ambiente ist für mich persönlich einzigartig in Köln, das muss man selbst gesehen/erlebt haben! Das wichtigste aber ist, die Cocktails hier schmekcne einfach nur hervorragend! Meine absolute Lieblingsbar in ganz Köln, ich war schon sehr oft hier und werde auch immer wieder kommen.
